38CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURING THE SWITCH

System Access

Click Administration, then System Access on the menu. A screen appears with six system access tabs:

User Summary

Create User

Modify User

Remove User

To prevent unauthorized users from accessing the Web interface and modifying the Switch’s settings, the interface is password-protected.

The default admin account settings are:

User name – admin

Password – blank (no password)

To ensure that unauthorized users do not access the Web interface, 3Com recommends that you set an admin password when you first configure the Switch.

Even if you do not intend to actively manage the switch, 3Com recommends that you

change the password to prevent unauthorized access to your network.

The password can be up to 8 characters long and is case-sensitive.

If you forget the administration password after you set it, refer to “Forgotten Password” on page 74 for information on how to regain access to the Web interface.

User Summary

Displays the list of user names and their access level.
